This was brought out to the trail a few years ago, when the kids were having paint ball wars every weekend. Most of the stuff they brought out here has since 'walked away', but this remains.

Difficult category Simon (struggling for something inspiring), nothing more decayed than the inside of my mouth; let this be a lesson to any kids that eat a lot of sweets and don't brush their teeth!

I took my daughter out to the field in front of our house to take some photos. This is what we found. We talked a lot about finding beauty in things that may be considered ugly. She is 3 years old, but I think she got it.

Ok...I was totally inspired by this month's theme and had all kinds of great ideas but I waited til the last minute!

All my ideas would have taken too much time and I really didn't want to end the year on a low note by not doing this month's challenge so I dug through my photos and found this barn...which is right across the road from us! It has been unused for as long as we have lived here...twenty-five years....but it is beautiful!

I wish it were on our property!:)

Happy New Year everyone...I'm looking forward to another year of The Sketchbook Challenge!!

decaying tree trunk looking a bit like a dinosaur skull.

There's a walkway/cut-through behind the KaDeWe where I didn't expect to find a decaying, falling down apartment building. I would be surprised if it's had much done to it since the war.

In the Vedado area

hile backing up my photos, I found this old shed, photographed in november last year. 3 exposures HDR, toned in Photomatix and finished in PS.
